20v turbo coupe is quick enough. My mate sold his because of fuel and insurance costs, not because it ever let him down.

yes very true ,,,,,,,,, however my point is this .,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., most bolts come out without breaking ( as they should be designed to do ) and the WHOLE point of hose clips is their ability to be undone .......... not break ,,,,,,,,,, i waill say again ,,,,,,, this car was FAST and FUN ,,,,,,,,,,, but when ye have to fix one ,,,,,,,,,,,, its a nightmare ,,,,,,,,,,,,, thank christ i was gettin paid to do it
